This is the wrong argument, wrong way to look at it. The second amendment guarantees the government will not infringe on our God given right to self defense. I do not have to justify firearms ownership based on need. That is so important I’ll say it again. We do not have to justify exercising our rights based on need. No one hands you an abridged dictionary and says “sure you have first amendment rights, but you have no need of words over three syllables...” I may never need a magazine fed semiautomatic rifle. But i absolutely need the freedom to own one if I choose to, because the moment we don’t have that freedom, we start surrendering more and more freedoms.
